U

un-design

Un-design is a side effect of process. If design is the rendering of intent, un-design lacks any and all intent. A particular identifiable configuration of a system can be said to be "un-designed" if it lies at the intersection of—or is the result of the interaction between—two or more designed (or even themselves un-designed) entities. Contrast "anti-design".
